Yeah, went to make a loan and saw it was funded too. A Ugandan saleswoman and a Jordanian student paying for his education benefitted from my outstanding credit and Team FriendFeed gets another two hits instead.

"Nutritionally, purslane is a powerhouse. It has more than double the omega-3s that kale has and, as far as I know, more than any other leafy green ever analyzed. It has over four times the vitamin E of turnip leaves, more than any other leafy green ever analyzed. It has glutathione and other antioxidants and about as much iron as spinach. It also has reasonable amounts of other nutrients as well as phytochemicals, like all these leafy greens."

My parents get this in their farm share every year - it is pretty tasty.

Used to grow this at my old place. I'd add it to spinah and chicken dishes.

I think it was present in in some soil I got a few years back. It's spread to all my garden beds now.

it has a slightly tart, refreshing taste. i like it. you can make a salad of it with tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice. or mix it with yoghurt and garlic for a spread or side dish. in turkey it is quite a popular vegetable, we make a dish of it with a soffrito of tomatoes and onion, you can also add mince meat and a little bit of rice. actually i had the dish for lunch today :)

"Entomologists are not like other people. Lucky enough to score a cool parasitic larva burrowing in your skin after a visit to Central America? The obvious thing to do is to rear your maggot out in your body until it’s an adult fly. For science."

"Had she paints, or clay or knew the discipline of the dance, or strings: had she anything to engage her tremendous curiosity and her gift for metaphor, she might have exchanged the restlessness and preoccupation with whim for an activity that provided her with all she yearned for. And like any artist with no art form, she became dangerous."

"Not only are the rich getting richer, though, but because they're getting more of their money from capital gains, they're getting taxed less, too. Remember, the top tax rate is 39.6 percent on ordinary income, but it's just 23.8 percent on capital gains—and was 15 percent in 2010. That's why the top 400 households only paid an effective rate of 18 percent then."

Here's a deal for you, Friendfeeders: use this link: http://www.kiva.org/team... to make a $25 loan, and I'll match up to 3 of them. (Unless they still offer the first one free/I get one free, in which case there will be no limit!)

"It is disingenuous for the Republican-controlled House Committee on Science, Space and Technology to promote the idea that scientists are wasting millions of taxpayer dollars to run shrimp on treadmills based on a 30-second video clip. Given that every teaspoon of seawater can contain millions of bacteria, it does not take a mental giant to understand that the health of marine organisms and the safety of the seafood we eat are closely related."
